Hashrate - This is a measure of how quickly your hardware can do the work of Bitcoin mining. You can find out the expected hashrate of your hardware from your manufacturer or product documentation. Hashrates in this calculator are expressed in Gigahashes per second (Gh/s) each of which equals 1,000,000,000 hashes per second. Terahashes (1,000,000,000,000) and Petahashes (1,000,000,000,000,000) are commonly used to describe larger Bitcoin mining rigs and the total network hashrate respectively.

Difficulty - To ensure blocks are found about every 10 minutes, the Bitcoin network adjusts this parameter every 2016 blocks which takes around 14 days.

Pool Fee - To fund development, maintenance and hosting overhead, some pools charge fees as a percentage of coins mined. Enter the percent here to have the result decreased accordingly.

Next Earnings - This section helps you estimate your earnings once the difficulty changes next. These numbers can swing wildly and are most accurate as the difficulty change nears.
